sittin crooked

the left rear of my Z sits an inch lower than the right side, measured by the rear fender wells. would an adjustable panhard rod help even it out?

I think Fbodies jsut lean like that after a while, but that seems really extreme, how many miles are on your car? it could be worn out or even a leaky shock.

the pan hard aligns the rear left to right, not up and down.

shouldnt be that big a difference though, on a flat surface mines off maybe 1/4" at most

You could have a shock thats leaking.
but if you want to fix it your going to have to shim it.

I think the passenger side sits lower to compensate for the driver's weight on the other side. I've heard of this before and I wouldn't be too worried about it. 1" does seem a little extreme though.
